The arctic shares its history easily as there can be thousands of years before items biodegrade and vanish from existence. This mound here is a couple of thousand years old.

Come in to one, come in to the other, and over top would be whale rib bones and the caribou hide, and that would make their shelter to be a heck of a lot warmer than the plywood crate I'm sleeping in. This is skull of a bullhead whale. They would use them to put around and support the huts they would make. So far, I've counted 8 of these and it's only about 75 yards from the plywood crate that I'm sleeping in. So, this obviously was a place where the getting was bountiful, whether it be caribou or whether it be Arctic char or narwhal. They definitely came here to harvest from the land and the sea. There are places where you can take the time to affect your survival, like in the tropics, but up here, the land offers no forgiveness. It's indifferent to whether you live or die.
